Government Statements
I've had a phone call with Prime Minister @trussliz. We count on 🇬🇧's leadership in consolidating international political and defense support for Ukraine, in particular regarding the protection of our skies. And also in the further isolation of Russia.
— Володимир Зеленський (@ZelenskyyUa) October 10, 2022
Also had an urgent call with @EmmanuelMacron. We discussed the strengthening of our air defense, the need for a tough European and international reaction, as well as increased pressure on the Russian Federation. France stands with Ukraine.
— Володимир Зеленський (@ZelenskyyUa) October 10, 2022
Productive conversation with @POTUS. Air defense is currently the number 1 priority in our defense cooperation.
— Володимир Зеленський (@ZelenskyyUa) October 10, 2022
We also need US leadership with the G7's tough stance and with support for our UN GA resolution.

International Opinions
A series of Russian missile strikes against cities across Ukraine hit the heart of Kyiv, the capital, and other areas far from the front line. It was the broadest aerial assault against civilians and critical infrastructure since the early days of the war.https://t.co/rlHNvMNCh6 pic.twitter.com/YceIBCmBOL

Zelensky: “We are dealing with terrorists. Dozens of rockets, Iranian suicide drones. They have two aims. Energy infrastructure across the whole country…. The other aim is people. They have chosen the time and targets to harm as many as possible.” pic.twitter.com/E5GCnjnITb

Russia’s brutal rocket and drone attacks on Monday exposed Ukraine’s impossible choice: even with more western air defence systems, there won’t be enough to protect both frontline troops and innocent civilians https://t.co/KAUND4yQZB w @JP_Rathbone & @hallbenjamin @FinancialTimes

Frankly, I do not understand why Russia wouldn't be excluded from the UN. Of course it would require, technically, re-launching the UN, but if targeting peaceful citizens by a UN permanent member is not a reason for the end of the system, then what is? pic.twitter.com/FKSVSs98Sy

The U.S. condemns Russia's missile strikes today across Ukraine which injured and killed civilians and demonstrated once again the brutality of Putin’s illegal war.
— President Biden (@POTUS) October 10, 2022
These attacks only reinforce our commitment to stand with the people of Ukraine for as long as it takes.
The appalling attacks on civilian areas in Kyiv and elsewhere are a clear sign of Putin's desperation.

Ukrainians are succeeding, and Britain will stand right behind them as we continue to provide vital military aid in Ukraine's fight for freedom 🇬🇧🇺🇦 https://t.co/Wz9DD98npx

Konstantin Dolgov, former Russian commissioner for human rights, claims that Ukraine's plumbing and sewer systems are "working to support the war" and therefore are legitimate military targets. He hopes for more strikes and asks: "Are they whining yet? Are they howling yet?" pic.twitter.com/JC1BUretNz
